This is my first entry into UN. I've always wanted to try one but just never pulled the trigger. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. I've had this for about a week now and before I bought it I was a little unsure about the oval shape of the case. Now...  

Big congrats Tony

I love this case, and as a coincidence, as you, I was not mad at all of the oval shaped case, but while seeing it in the flesh, and after wearing my 160 for some long time, now, I'm more and more in love with it... As you said, the finish, the work on the...

Thanks for the response. Since I've had the Macho and haven gotten used to the case I've been considering the160 for a future purchase. Can you post some thoughts and photos about the watch? Thanks, Tony

Seriously?

You will " Double " the ovale shaped case? I saw both 160 and Macho, and I decided to go on the 160, becasue of its in house and particular movement. What will you do of your Macho if you go on the 160? The 160 is a rare bird, as it is limited to 160 piec...

...but to be honest, I cannot justify the cost of the piece to myself. The new movement is great and I would love to own a piece with the dual direct escapement, but until this movement trickles down into a more mainstream price bracket, it will just have... 

nice piece, but i get confused. is it the macho or 160 which have the boxed barometer?

also the name 'macho' is a bit strange for a watch especially as at 43mm there is no reason it cant be worn by one of the fairer sex. overall, like most UN pieces, its very nice with unusual glass and nice detailing. luckily for my wallet it doesnt fit in...
